Captive acceleration tube virtually eliminates pump cavitation and its destructive and expensive results. Cavitation is the collapsing of gaseous formations in the pumped fluid that causes erosion and pitting. This device is the only positive means of ensuring a consistent inlet pressure to the pump, especially with long feed lines, booster pumps, and spiking return valves. Three capacity ranges are up to 15, 45, and 75 gpm. Adapters cover pipe sizes 3/4-1-1/2 in. 1-1/4-2 in., and 2-2-1/2 in.

Annual Salary Survey

Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.

There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.

But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.
